The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Different dimension.

That is the only way I can describe the battle unfolding in front of me.

“I am going to try assassinating Al, do your best to resist me.”

On the empty plain, the Brave started attacking us with a normal wooden sword.

On the defending side, Elna is also using a wooden sword.

In the end, this is only a training.

As the Brave said he would, he is retraining Elna.

A cover to not let others think that he is here on the Emperor’s behalf.

However, for whatever reason, two heroes are fighting in front of me.

“Ugh…..!”

I have to lower my posture to not get blown away by the wind pressure from their attacks.

And both of them are using a wooden sword.

Although the wooden sword itself was swung in a way that prevented it from breaking, a gust of wind was produced by each of their swings.

I can’t keep up with their movement with my eyes at all.

I can barely pick up the sound of their swords colliding but even with that said, the sound is numerous and comes from all directions.

“It is because you always overwhelm your opponent that you can’t get rid of your weaknesses like this.”

That voice was from behind me.

Looking back, I saw Elna and the Brave locking sword.

“I am not bad……at protecting!”

“You think? You are supposed to be better at attacking though?”

With that said, the Brave moves to my front.

Before I knew it, Elna had already stopped the Brave sword that was swung at me.

“A member of the Brave house must always be a Hero even without the Holy Sword. Both in terms of manner and ability.”

“Manner aside……I don’t think that I am inferior to Otou-sama if it comes to ability!”

Saying so, Elna pushed back the Brave.

Seeing that, the Brave smiles at Elna.

“When I say ability, I didn’t mean only your swordsmanship and combat skills.”

The voice is now behind me again.

He is clearly faster than before.

Elna hurriedly deflected his blow away but perhaps because of that, she was blown away by the Brave’s kick.

“Tactics, coolheadedness, how much you can read your opponent. You are still lacking in all three. People who you can fight fair and square with are only those who have excessive pride. Most will do anything to survive. If everything can be settled by calling your opponent a coward afterward then this world would have no need for something like a Brave house in the first place.”

“I admit that I am still lacking…..but that will not work a second time.”

“Your thinking is wrong. There will never be a second time. Because you think that way, you let that traitorous captain got away. If we can not catch a single Imperial Knight Captain-class opponent then what value does the Brave house has.”

“That is…….”

Certainly, Elna let Raphael, the traitorous imperial knight captain, got away in the Imperial Capital.

After that, due to the confusion, Raphael escaped.

Well, even if I say it like that then I am not putting the blame on Commander Alida though.

Even she is not enough to be compared to the Brave.

The Brave house of Amsberg is the Empire’s trump card.

Its members must be a special existence that stands out from others. After all, it was their strength that supported the Amsberg house.

“You were agitated by the enemy’s words and your movements became dull. I should have taught you long ago. If your enemy has something to say then listen to them after they are already crawling on the floor.”

The Brave circled behind Elna.

Elna managed to catch his sword but she got blown away again.

However, she immediately regained her posture and came back to my side.

“Haa Haa…….”

“You are struggling quite a bit huh?”

“It’s Otou-sama after all…….”

“Even so, that doesn’t mean that everything he says is right.”

I said that to Elna and look at the Brave.

The Brave is still smiling.

When I see that kind of expression, I always want to crush it.

It seems this bad habit is in the family.

“Brave. You are correct. Elna did let that captain got away. That surely can be counted as a blunder of the Brave house. Even so, it was Elna who came for me at the Imperial Capital that day. Not you.”

The Brave bitterly smiles at my words.

It seems that he is willing to accompany me in this conversation.

So his target of retraining is only Elna huh.

“Good grief…..you always do that huh.”

“—-the one who was there and the one who was not. Which of the two is more useful? I think that even children can understand that though?”

“That is absolutely right. I have nothing to say back. But Al, that doesn’t mean you can always be there for Elna. It would be better if you don’t spoil her too much.”

“If I can’t do something then Elna will help me do it, if Elna is lacking in something then I can compensate for her. We’ve always been like that.——and that will never change.”

“If Elna is not there to help you, you will die. You know that right?”

“That is fine. I have already entrusted my life to Elna a long time ago.”

“You really are……ever since a long time ago, you are always good at encouraging others aren’t you.”

“I am not really trying to though. Now then, are you ready? Brave. My childhood friend is not as weak as you think you know.”

At that moment, Elna approached the Brave.

To an escort, leaving the person you are supposed to protect’s side is like a bet.

The two are not that much different in terms of speed.

If the Brave focused his attacks on me, Elna would have no choice but to remain on the defensive.

However, Elna must have her confidence.

The differences between them that the Brave mentioned Tactics, coolheadedness, and how well you can read your opponent, she can not learn all of those immediately.

However, in terms of simple fighting ability, she is not inferior to him.

That’s why she went in from the front.

Elna hits the Brave with a heavy blow before he can react.

The Brave who had no choice but to defend has been forced to face Elna.

“Seriously…….my daughter is so full of energy!”

“I am your daughter after all!”

“What I want to see was your growth, not your cooperation though!”

“Teamwork is also counted as real ability!”

Elna tried to overpower the Brave.

However, the Brave’s defense does not lose to her either.

Elna’s wooden sword cracked.

When he received the blow, it seems that he was always aiming for the same place.

However, Elna keeps on attacking without minding it.

Both wooden swords couldn’t stand the trauma and broke.

“A draw huh……”

“No…..I can’t go back to the Imperial Capital without seeing your growth.”

Saying so, the Brave raised his hand to the sky.

Understanding the meaning behind that action, Elna also reaches for the sky.

They are calling the Holy Sword huh.

I think that is overkill though……..has he received Father’s permission?

Wait, is this on me?

I couldn’t stop the two Heroes who were raring to go so I gave up and decided to let it go.

There is only one Holy Sword in this world.

And it only comes down to the hand of the person who has the quality to become a hero.

“Hear my voice and descend! O’brilliant sword of the stars!”

“The Hero needs you!!”

Light came down from the sky.

The dazzling light eventually turns into a silver sword.

And it is Elna who has the Holy Sword in her hand.

“…..so the Holy Sword chose Elna huh.”

“Brave, are you satisfied with Elna’s growth now?”

“Well, I will admit that she has grown. But, if I remember correctly, it was when I was fifteen that I took the Holy Sword from my Father you know.”

He really hates losing huh.

As I thought, he really is Elna’s father.

After a grin, the Brave turned away.

“I am going back to the capital. Al, take care of Elna for me.”

“Roger that. Please take care of my father as well, Brave.”

“I know.”

Saying so, the Brave left.
